Step-by-Step Instructions

Rinse chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides.
In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and olive oil until smooth.
Add the seasoned chicken to the marinade, ensuring it's well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish. Remove chicken from the marinade and place in the dish.
Apply any remaining marinade on top of the chicken pieces.
Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for 2 to 3 minutes before garnishing with fresh thyme.
